This is not a bad head item. However it is now a backup for me as during my time running instances to gather my dreadmist set I picked up the Crimson Felt Hat from Barthilas in UD strat (he's the guy who also drops the key to the city). I like the stats on the dreadmist, but I like the +to pimping with the felt hat.

This item were once bugged and looked silly on female taurens. The shadow and eyeglow effect was still there, but the actual hood was high up in the air. Or thats how i saw it.

I personally find this hood to be more attractive than it's upgraded version, the Deathmist Mask, due to the coloring. I like the purple on my female warlock. Of course when I do get this I'm going to upgrade it and farm Gandling for it again, so I can have a D1 and a D2 set.

One of the most badass-looking helms in the game!

In Cataclysm there will be a new account-bound heirloom item based on this. Bought from guild vendors with guild reputation.The new types of heirlooms are hats and cloaks that will level from 1 to 85.

For Warlocks farming this, here's a little guide to get Gandling as quickly as possible:

1. Get a Demonology spec. It makes soloing any instance so much easier. I remember having those "oh @#$%" situations with my Destruction spec in which my pet made a few unlucky pulls and I found myself unable to handle the horde of mobs. With Demonology it's just Metamorphosis+Immolation Aura to clear just about any room within seconds. Also the Fel Guard is the best way for Warlocks to kill the magic immune mobs quickly.

2. Enter the instance, dismiss your pet if you have it out and jump down the bridge immediately to your right. After you've jumped, hug the wall and go up the stairs, then left to the room with the hatchlings.

3. Set your Demonic Circle at one of the holes and jump down. Kill Rattlegore and anything you might have aggroed with him, take his key and teleport back up.

(3.5. If you also need the Dreadmist Mantle now would be a good time to go through the hidden door and kill Jandice.)

4. Go back the way you came to the room in which you landed after jumping off the bridge. You should now summon your Fel Guard (before this point he would've been more of a nuisance, pulling additional mobs) as you'll likely have to kill at least one of the packs of mobs in this room with magic immune mobs. Make your way through the room either hugging the wall or killing the pack right in front of the door, unlock the door.

5. Move on to the next room, turn left immediately, ignore any students (Immolation Aura won't be enough to clear that room at once, trust me) and go down the stairs.

6. The rest is a no-brainer, clear all of the six rooms and then Gandling himself.
